Attention Wal-Mart shoppers ...

... You're now living in a police state. You know those cheap TVs we sell? Well, they work both ways. Big Sister's watching you.

Reader Joe Sansone from Florida sent me this link. Joe said it was one of the creepiest things he'd ever seen. I have to agree. But the real issue here is the blatant self-promotion. I'm sure there are plenty of actors and actresses who would volunteer their time for this sort of thing and create a video that actually communicates effectively to the shopper the level of risk of a terror attack in Wal-Mart.Instead we get a functionary trying to build what could only be called a cult of personality - minus the personality. As for the actual level of risk, I suspect it is infinitesimal. If a terrorist wanted to strike in America, there are far better targets of opportunity than a big-box store. Obviously it would make more sense to target the dense crowd at an event of some sort. Has Napolitano ever given any thought to that? Does anyone in DHS have the faintest clue how the world works?
I've yet to see any evidence of that.
